Prayer Times in Dongguan, China

Prayer times in Dongguan

Facing the Kaaba from Dongguan means turning west, roughly 276°. Makkah lies some 6,945 kilometres away, and the times on this page are calculated for this city specifically rather than for the country as a whole.

Where these times come from

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Dongguan today, prayer by prayer

Fajr opens the day at 5:29 am, well before first light. You have until 7:01 am, when the sun comes up. Dhuhr follows at 12:19 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:56 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:37 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:07 pm. That gives Dongguan roughly 10 hours and 36 minutes of daylight today.

How much the times move

Summer and winter look like different timetables entirely in Dongguan. The times can shift by several hours between the two ends of the year.

For tahajjud

From Isha to Fajr is around 10 hours and 22 minutes at the moment. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.
